Polly
Multi-agent coding orchestrator. Polly breaks your task into sub-tasks and delegates each one to a different AI agent, with cross-vendor code review built in.

How it works
Polly is a supervisor that never writes code itself. It decomposes your goal into sub-tasks and delegates each one to a sub-agent running on its own harness and git worktree. One agent implements, a different agent reviews. Each implementer opens its own PR. Polly never merges. The human decides.
| Sub-agent | Harness | Role |
|---|---|---|
claude_code | claude-native | Claude Code |
codex | codex-native | Codex |
opencode | opencode-native | OpenCode |
cursor | cursor-native | Cursor |
hermes | hermes-native | Hermes Agent (Nous Research) |
pi | pi | Pi (headless, any gateway model) |
claude_code, codex, opencode, cursor, and hermes are the primary
implementers, each running as a real CLI coding harness in its own terminal you
can open in the UI's Subagents panel to watch or take over. pi runs headless
as the review/explore specialist. Six distinct vendors means any implementer's
diff can be reviewed by a different one — the cross-vendor check is the point.
Tool approvals in headless workers
Polly's native workers launch in a headless pane where no human is watching to
answer a tool-approval prompt, so an Edit/Write/Bash that would prompt
stalls the worker. Each worker's bundle therefore declares a full-bypass stance
so it can edit and run unattended:
| Worker | Harness | Bypass config | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
claude_code | claude-native | permission_mode: auto | passed through as --permission-mode auto |
codex | codex-native | yolo: true | --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox |
cursor | cursor-native | yolo: true | --yolo (cursor-agent's don't-ask / full bypass) |
Set executor.config.yolo: false on a worker to keep it prompting — useful for
a read-only or must-approve sub-agent (its gated calls then surface as approval
cards). For the Cursor worker, executor.config.permission_mode: auto (or
exec_mode: auto / auto-review) selects Smart Auto (--auto-review) instead
of full --yolo, matching Claude's permission_mode: auto ergonomics.
Bypass only skips the interactive per-tool prompt — Omnigent's blast_radius
policy still DENYs the catastrophic set.
Skills
/fanoutruns independent tasks in parallel. Each gets its own git worktree and sub-agent. Each opens its own PR./cross-reviewsends an implementer's diff to a different-vendor reviewer. Blocking issues loop back as fixes until clean./investigatedelegates read-only work (debugging, audits, code understanding) to sub-agents and synthesizes findings.
When to use
- Large refactors that benefit from parallel work.
- Cross-vendor code review where one agent writes and another reviews.
- Specialized sub-tasks routed to the harness best suited for them.
